Church is like Noahs Ark - It's big and smelly but it is the only thing afloat!
I've written some posts about my home Church and I think I need to clarify some things. First, please don't think I am tooting my horn about how great my Church is or that it is any better than anyone elses. Believe me, we have our share of problems. Second, the Enemy is alive and well and is working to divide mine and your Church at all times. I've seen him use petty stuff and misunderstandings to turn people against each other (You know, the horizontal reconciliation thing). The Enemy loves to use the pride of "Church Folk" to divide us, especially in our own Churches. And last, no matter where you go, there will be problems to overcome. I've seen many people come and go but the ones that stay and deal with the problems grow stronger.
So, if you going through some rough times, hang in there! God has a way of sorting them out on his time and most of all for his good.

I never assumed by your comments that your church was "perfect" You just seem to look at the positives and there is nothing wrong with that! Don't be overly concerned that your church isn't perfect either. When trouble stops and Satan stops fighting your church THAT'S when you should start worrying. That's when Satan doesn't think he needs to be concerned you're making an impact. So be joyous in the rough times and recognize you must be doing something right.
Thanks Libby! We really should rejoice in the hard times because if it was all peaches and cream it would mean we weren't a threat to the Enemy. I value your comments and still praying for your recovery. Thanks again!
Amen brother. Thanks for this post - it's what I've been going through at my own church.
Thanks for visiting my blog, by the way...you've been blogrolled...
You got it Danny,
The truth is, if the enemy is not trying to attack your church it is because he is probably already in possession of it!
